Oups... It would appear that Cirkwi does not have permission to use your location.

Is it a Chamois or an Ibex?

Description

With a heart twice as big as ours and blood containing three times more red blood cells, the Chamois is a true athlete able to climb within 5 minutes what a trained human would do in an hour! The Alpine Chamois can be recognised by its hook-shaped horns and, most notably, its two dark stripes running from its eyes to its muzzle (the rest of its head is lighter). Be careful not to mistake it for the female Ibex: the latter has an almost uniform coloration, even on the head! As for the male Ibex, its long, ridged horns that curve backwards easily distinguish it from the Chamois.
